This first book-length treatment of embedded librarianship showcases strategies for successfully embedding librarians and library services across higher education. Chapters feature case studies and reports on projects from a wide variety of colleges and universities, including some surprising settings and results.

By joining varied groups of patrons and assisting their research over the long haul, embedded librarians commit themselves to service in a very different way than they did in traditional one-shot bibliographic instruction. In this collection, we see librarians using the embedded model to become valuable collaborators, trusted instructors, and partners in shaping the curriculum and broad institutional goals beyond the boundaries of the library.

This book is appropriate for academic librarians, academic libraries, schools of information science and librarianship, library educators, and researchers.Table of Contents

Introduction

Part One: Introduction

Chapter One. A Recent History of Embedded Librarianship: Collaboration and Partnership Building with Academics in Learning and Research Environments

Cassandra Kvenild is Distance Learning Librarian and Kaijsa Calkins is English Reference and Instruction Librarian at the University of Wyoming. Both are graduates of the University of Washington iSchool. They have written and presented about their embedded projects at national and international conferences, and are planning a second book on embedded librarianship. Cass’s other research interests include assessment of library services to distance learners and technological innovations in online library services. Kaijsa’s other research focuses on college student reading, with additional interest in information literacy learning and assessment, and social media in learning.Reviews

”Present[s] examples of a deeper integration of collections and librarians into the curriculum and the research life of a campus and areas where archivists can find ideas for experimentation."
